Introducing PrimeFaces 10 – The NextGen
PrimeFaces team is excited to announce the release of PrimeFaces X (v10) featuring the next generation UI component library for JSF.
Version 9
So where is version 9? V9 is skipped due to amount of changes, since PrimeFaces X is next gen, we wanted to have a special version.
What is new?
Well, everything. So let’s begin covering them.
PrimeOne Design Concept
In mid last year, PrimeTek has decided to renovate all the UI component libraries based on a new design language called PrimeOne Design Concept. PrimeFaces X is now based on this concept and brings 3 new themes Saga (Light), Vela (Dim) and Arya (Dark).
PrimeIcons 4.1
PrimeIcons is a new set of modern icons that is shared between the UI libraries of PrimeTek. Since version 4, all icons have been redesigned from scratch for a clean and modern look.
Visual Theme Designer
PrimeFaces Designer is a sass based theme api for developing PrimeFaces themes and has been reimplemented for v10. The bundle consists of an application containing the visual editor, sass api, all pre-built themes and a sample page with various components to test while designing your theme. The tool can be used in two ways; first approach is the visual ui theme editor and other one is editing the sass variables directly from the code.
New Showcase
Showcase has been rewritten from the ground up with a new design and all demos have been updated to include new set of data along with UI enhancements. Note: Component finder is coming soon.
Enhanced Animations
Overlay animations have been redone to use new CSS animations with better performance and improved user experience.
